Comic-Con 2010: Joss Whedon will direct The Avengers

What’s been suspected for several weeks has at last been confirmed: Joss Whedon will direct Marvel’s The Avengers:

“I’m still writing the outline. I am at the stage where I am reworking and reworking. What I love about this is that there is no way that these people should be in the same room together, let alone the same team. And that, to me, is the definition of family,” Whedon said.
